Mustang GTs and IROC Camaros went 145-150 in 1986, with substantially less power than a 2.3L Mustang makes today.

156 mph limited from the factory but easily turned off. Mine goes approx 207 mph and no, I haven't driven it that fast.

Yeah, the CHP SSP Mustangs topped out at 135 mph, mostly because of trans limitations. With a modern 6 speed instead of 4, it would hit 160mph no problem.

I remembered it as inches shy of 150,  but wrote it as 145-150 because I didn't remember the exact number and was too lazy to look it up.

But I looked it up just for you:

Top speed, mph 149 IROC 148 GT.

https://www.thirdgen.org/rt_october1986_mustang_vs_camaro_irocz/

Surprisingly enough, the 310hp 2018 Ecoboost Mustang is much slower, maybe 1-2mph hotter than a 1977 Saab 99 EMS (My EMS had a big factory air dam not found on other pre-turbo trim levels), and noticeably slower than my 2016 1.4L Cruze or my 1986 2.3L Mercedes. (2018 Mustang governed to 123, Cruze governed to 132, Mercedes 2.3-16 topped out in the low-mid 130s)

I've got mixed feelings on a police chase that goes 150+ mph when the only known reason the cops are chasing is for traffic.

Yup.  As I read the article, the cops were chasing him simply because he was running.
There's a balancing act, some cars need chased to the ends of the earth, but if the only knowledge at hand is speed the danger to the public at large isn't worth the chase.

As I understand it the state patrol here pretty much never gives up a chase.

There have been many over the years when the city or county people stopped chase but the patrol kept right on going

Patrol will also chase bikes which most of the cities and countys will not

Considering how fucked up Nebraska's third party liability, the NSPs history with pursuits and issues arising from them (Trooper Flick incident), I am amazed they actually conducted a pursuit at those speeds. If all I had was high speed I'd would not have taken the liability of continuing such a pursuit even if I had gotten supervisor permission(My old agency required supervisor contact immediately).

That situation was fucked up. Flick had an insane amount of pressure from above to change his story, he should have known better than to change his story however. The entire incident, and the butt stroke incident around that time both reflected very poorly on the NSP. Flick did some great stuff as a trooper (Alliance standoff) but he threw it away.

When the head of the NSP is encouraging you to change your narrative, it doesn't excuse his actions, but it does paint them in a different light.
